Peru: Andrés Hurtado defense seeks end of preventive detention after indictment

Defense lawyers for Andrés Hurtado, known as 'Chibolín', have requested the termination of his preventive detention, arguing that the preliminary investigation has concluded and prosecutors have formally presented an accusation seeking a 30-year prison sentence. The request hinges on the legal principle that preventive detention should not continue once charges are filed, but the court's decision remains pending. This development is a procedural move in an ongoing high-profile corruption case, with implications for judicial precedent in Peru.
